While the long-running Epic Games vs Apple legal battle appeared to end in mid-January 2024, the “Fortnite” maker has filed a new notice of non-compliance and said it intends to pursue a motion of contempt of court. Epic’s complaint is similar to its accusation of “malicious compliance” over Apple’s new EU App Store rules.
Once the Supreme Court declined to hear either Epic’s or Apple’s appeals, Apple was required to follow the lower court’s anti-steering ruling. Specifically, Apple was to no longer prevent developers from telling customer of alternatives or other offers through their app.
